The Leadership Initiative for Faith and Education has been a valuable resource for teachers, administrators, and faith-based organizations since 2018. The Initiative offers various opportunities, including conferences, Harvard courses, Harvard Professional Development programs, and research on education law. Its main goal is to help students use their faith as an asset and not as a barrier in their pursuit of educational success. Additionally, the Initiative conducts legal research to inform public school teachers and administrators about constitutional laws that govern educational church and state.

The Leadership Initiative for Faith and Education aims to create effective partnerships between faith-based organizations and public schools to improve student achievement. This program presents a model for building successful partnerships between faith-based organizations and public schools in historically marginalized urban and rural communities. Participants will examine evidence-based information that supports the importance of such partnerships and explore examples of successful collaborations at local, regional, and national levels. Additionally, participants will develop an initial action plan to apply their learnings in their community.
